[FAQ] 5th Edition Rulebook FAQ

Busy week for the FAQ'ers at GW it seems, they've now given us a 5th Edition FAQ which can be found here: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2030054_FAQ_40Krulebook_Feb2010.pdf


Have a read through and see if you can spot anything tasty!

A good clarification for my Burna Boyz and their Battlewagon:
Q. Must passengers fire at the same target that
their vehicle is firing at?

A. No, they are a separate unit (albeit they are
temporarily co-existing with the vehicle) and so
can fire at a different target.


Peace out,
SB.

  3. Q. Can the same unit control several objectives,providing it is large enough to be within 3" of each one of them ?
    A. Yes, absolutely, but we find this does not
    happen that often when enemies are around...



    Q. Can Psychic powers be used on a unit
    embarked on a transport?
    A. For simplicity’s sake, the answer has to be a firm ‘No, unless the psyker himself is in the unit being transported’.


    Think thats the best of them ........ so units in a transport are safe from the doom of malatai (spelling ????) ---- YAY

  4. Sorry to burst a bubble, the dooms ability is not a psychic power, just an ability - the nid FAQ will be out soon and everyone will know once and for all if it does affect units in transports (It will more than likely not be able to, or shouldnt be able too, it'd be too powerful for the points cost).

  5. It's an ability yeah, but I think the likelihood is they'll share a similar stance on it - "For Simplicity's Sake".

    Will wait and see :)

    Wall of Grots controlling 3 objectives... for the WIN!

  6. yeap, same with gaunts, control the objectives mu hu ha ha ha

    doom - wont affect units in transports (id be a happy man if it could be too powerful for a 90 points model if it can)

    Rob and i wondered if you have a unit in a rhino and a librarian attached and he opened a gate (or whatever its called, the one that deepstrikes you and a unit) would the rhino go too?

    Q. Can Psychic powers be used on a unit
    embarked on a transport?
    A. For simplicity’s sake, the answer has to be a firm ‘No, unless the psyker himself is in the unit being transported’.

    does the rhino go too? a deepstriking rhino would be ace!!!

  7. Does it not cover it in the Space Marine FAQ? I'd say yeah it does mean your Rhino has Deep Striked, but it counts as such a speed (can't remember which one).

    same thing could happen if I put a Weirdboy in a Trukk or Battlewagon.

  8. i dont think that is covered in the space marine FAQ - how cool would that be, deepstriking battlewagon / rhinos!!
